Sidney pcrham. Governor Bodwel said: The
people of Maine. after long experience, are re-
solved to adhere firmly to Prohibition. Its
stringent aud just provisions are better than
any other legal methods vet devised to stamp
out the liquor traffic. The vigor with which il
has been recently enforced, has caused the IL
qIor sellers to enter into Il kind of conspiracy
to break down prohibition bv a bold perycrSion

years ago. Until the United States Court shall

For three years our population continued to in

astrous year The drouth withcred the crops, and
swarms of grasshoppers in many sections well

II will be observed in the first place from
this table that in the matter of their Christian
names. although of course in no other re-
spects, the young ladies of 1857 are more eX-
travaGant than their grandmOtherS were. The
1l2 girls of 1774-lSl4 used but forty-iive Chris
tan names among them; the 1l2 girls of 1887
it will be observed. have used sixty y-seven. A
still more striking fact is the change in the as
sOrtmcnt. 1t will be observed that but seven
of the names used by the 112 of old times are
lectet,-Mary, Martha. Hannah, Lydia. Fan
ny. Amy and Elizabeth. OF course 1l2 people
is not u large enough number for the 1cduc-
tiOn of IN absolute and accurate statement aS
the use of names, but it does very well to
show the tendency of ihc fashion in names !;
and this tendency we see to he to put aside the
old names for new, or shorten the old names,
like Elizabeth and Susan to Lizzie and Susie.
Polly, Betsy, Sally Jane, S,lsannal, Nancy,
Abigail, and Mehitable, very popular names
among our grandmothers, have been put away,
like the old ball dresses and high-hceIcd slip
pcrs that tigure, In society in the days of Gen
eral Knox. To-day, distinguished Ey such
names as Annie, Alice, Mabel, Jennie and
Grace, the beauty transmitted from other gem
cratOns continues its perpetual sway. An
other thing noticeable from this comparison is
the disappearance of such quaint names, as
Wealthy, Love, Charity and Temperance. They
have gone with the PolIys and Sallys. Delight
alone among the names of 1887 is left to s,lg-
gest that trace of the old Puritan sentiment
yet survives.
Is this evolution of names only the result of
change of custom? Or is it a natural result
dependant upon other causes? Perhaps the
nan:es to-day are more refined and delicate i'm
sounds when spoken, and therefore more fitted
to the young ladies' of 1887, who are admitted,
OF course, to have added the refinement Of the
present to the inherited beauty of all the past.
